Having lived in a developing country for a decade: they don't speak the local language and don't read local news that's why they don't hear about it. The local news and gossip is always full of it.

And yet, the German economy is about double the size of the Russian one.
The popularity of a programming language is not always about what the language offers. I would say a comprehensive, well-documented, mature set of standard libraries for its target audience is far more important (notable examples like R, Python, and Go). Last time I checked, Ada doesn’t even have a de facto, high quality TLS/crypto library, let alone various essential protocol/format codecs, yet the core team (AdaCore I assume) puts a lot of resources into offering a few sophisticated flagship IDEs that potential hobbyists would never use (they already have vim, emacs or vscode). I understand that as a business they have to sell something for revenue and they cannot sell standard libraries. So, that’s probably a dilemma that we cannot have the nice things for Ada to take off.
Is that a sick joke?
Maybe the US Congress can amend the DMCA so that every company must publically list an email contact that must respond correctly to requests that take the form of forwarded DMCA notices and communications about IP issues. The company would have to reply with a confirmation or denial of the communication.

Companies could easily do this by including a tracking number for each communication, along with a copy of the communication then checking that tracking number on requests for confirmation.

I like Ada, but I tend to agree. "End Something_Somethig_Something" is really a mouthful (compared to "}"). And programmers are superficial like that. Ada wouldn't be the first decent language being dismissed for inconsequential aspects like this one.

> I can certainly think of several reasons why city border can and should be less restrictive than country borders, but I would first turn the question back to you, I since your question involves unstated assumptions: why should it apply between cities?

For the same reason it should apply between countries - whatever those are. It should be obvious that I don't think there are good reasons. You've got unstated assumptions about countries.

Your comment contains a lot of non-arguments: "think about it if you're serious", "think economics, "[what you're saying] is almost certainly not the right answer", "practical realities", "huge teams of smart people" etc.

LAN parties were way more social than "I play with my team (whom I ve never met IRL) over the Internet".

We were playing Warcraft 2 over a LAN between my house and the neighbors home and then we d run to the other house to discuss the game over a drink.

Or playing Warcraft 2 on laptops using some power inverter hooked to the car s battery in a truck, at night before going to sleep, on a surfing trip.

If anything gaming today is way less social, with most people playing online with people they ve never met.

A LAN meant we were physically close.
“Though the roads may wind far and wide,
And cities gleam with promises bright,
The heart will always turn to the soil,
Where the roots of our ancestors lie.
No matter how distant the dream may be,
Home will call, and there we shall be.”

Netflix’s own produced content is the poison that’s killing Netflix’s value proposition, not its golden goose.

It’s the reason I, and others I know, unsubscribed. Over time it edged out all the movies I actually wanted to watch simply because it makes them more money. But making them more money doesn’t entertain me so I unsubscribed.
But don't forget that the territory will change underneath your feet. This is especially true if you write business software. A tectonic shift in the business can make the assumptions you made a year ago completely invalid.

This is complicated further by the fact that good software will drive the business. So you will always be creating new problems because you're driving the business into new areas and capabilities that simply weren't possible before.

So this makes it doubly important to make sure your software can change in small ways over time. It's not just trying to navigate the moors at night with a torch, it's like trying to navigate the desert at night with a torch. The sand will move under your feet.
That's at the beginning of the book, and it was apparently something of a debacle. The NV2 chip that was supposed to go into Sega's next-gen console never made it, but a $5M investment from Sega did keep Nvidia afloat until the Riva128 launched.

One of my favourite films is called Upstream Color.

Below is not a spoiler, but I like to avoid reading anything about a good film before watching it, and I recommend to do the same here. You like it or you don’t.

This film has no staged speech that tries to explain anything. The little dialogue that it has is what would naturally arise given the situation. For the same reason, most characters have no names or no full names. No situation in which they would formally introduce themselves takes place.

Do I fully understand it immediately, or even after watching it once? No. Does it mean I dislike it? Rather the opposite. Actually, I enjoy being treated as an adult who can make conclusions without having given any pre-digested explanation.
I don’t think that’s what’s going on.

You're donating to a European place. For Ukraine they let you send money directly to the US account of the entire country of Ukraine (an account held at JPMorgan Chase by the way!! That's right, having the world's reserve currency allows American private entities to fractional-reserve entire countries) and earmark it a certain way, and the National Bank of Ukraine would figure it out. That's a highly unusual way to do things. If you want to send a payment to a specific person inside Ukraine, normally you would give their Ukrainian account number to your bank and let your bank figure it out, just like you are doing here.

This feels like an "American discovering the outside world for the first time and discovering that American systems aren't very good" moment.

But my comment was more about government inspections and news about violations, not news about food poisoning outbreaks.

In the developing country I was in, plenty of food products are never tested, but once you've visited a factory it's clear it would be shutdown in any developed country.
> This is a registered European association using fee-less European payment standards to fund a lawsuit entirely in Europe involving only European parties

Okay, but surely you can appreciate that making it easier for Europeans and non-Europeans to contribute to this cause would achieve the goal of the donation campaign more efficiently?

My personal opinion is that it would be very much worth it to accept payments via PayPal, Stripe, or other global electronic payment methods[^1]. And show how much money has been received to date.

I would rant about being content with “it works for us, people will donate if they really want to” but I’ve already done that too many times this year.

^1: yes there are some fees associated with this. But it’s also more convenient and probably more people would donate. But for some people the convenience argument does not compute.

There are a ton of great Christmas movies on Netflix. We just watched Christmas Chronicles again last night. Klaus is great. The Wallace and Gromit ones…I could go on

Maybe you aren’t being suggested kids movies. Most Xmas productions are. The hallmark/romance style of Xmas movie seems to be for housewives.

And there are lots of people who just want background noise. Before streaming it was just leaving the TV on while you did other stuff. Before that it was radio. Daytime programming has always been like this.

It’s not a Netflix invention.

It’s very easy to fall into the trap of doubting and disbelieving absolutely everything, because you think you can see through it to the ‘real’ agenda.

But it’s not a sign of intelligence so much as a sign of someone who has lost their ability to evaluate sources, and cannot navigate the information landscape of the modern world successfully.

If Russia is actually doing bad things, reporting on said bad things is not conveniently fitting the anti-Russia narrative, it’s just reporting on what Russia is doing.
I'm so surprised how people forgot all of these.

The current escalation is not only the fault of current Russia, but to a large extent US and European countries which decided to take the current path. Russia and other iron curtain countries didn't need to end up being plundered and left at the hands of oligarchs.

Let's forget about Russia for a moment abd look at eastern Germany. Current voting behavior there cannot be blamed on anything other than failure of the West after the collapse of communism to seize the opportunity to create a better integrated Germany. The west German capitalist choose to plunder it, buy old factories and sell the scrap metal instead of keeping them operational and gradually modernizing. All the wealth of the people there were just evaporated after unification. Now we have the political crisis as a result.

The irony of your comment is that Horizon famously went through a phase of making programmes that were all about doom a while ago. Asteroids hitting the Earth, Global warming, food supply collapse, tsunamis, volcanos, etc - and all with portentious narration.

If a game doesn't support LAN play, just install the game server one of the local machine.

As they indicated at the top, it looks like their bank's international transfer feature (to the extent that it exists) is broken: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42527151

I believe this is par for the course for US banking and why so many alternate payment systems exist. And in all fairness, it does very much remind me of european banking 15-20 years ago, before the spread of smartphones and banks getting on with the program and making SEPA a (and later EPC) a baseline feature, undoubtedly prodded on by member states.

And I can understand having to translate from SEPA to SWIFT and then needing to deal with that to be less than ideal. When I had to send money to a friend outside the EU I had to go through the bank's website (not available at all from the mobile application) and to register & wait for validation of their account as beneficiary (24h delay IIRC).

At the same bank, SEPA transfers is a button on the home screen of the mobile application, and doesn't require any setup, just input the IBAN or scan the EPC and go (and god would I like more businesses to accept SEPA / use EPC instead of requiring inputting my credit card every time or going through third party payment providers)
The best abstractions I've seen have always come into being only after a significant amount of particularized code had already been written. It is only then that you can identify the actual common properties and patterns of use.

> Netflix does have good productions. But they are often surrounded by the sea of mediocracy.

Isn't it true for the whole film industry? Among the highest grossing movies from recent years, how many follow a different approach?
So, people moving away is not new and not surprising, and happens all over the world, it's basically the main driver of urbanization. What's new was (rich) people moving "back" (to suburbs for the American Dream, and nowadays to have kids).

Though it's better than what used to happen - which was lots of kids, and high infant mortality, plus poverty driving kids to find jobs in cities, where bad living conditions and factory work awaited them. (And in the 20th century company towns around mines and factories.)

People growing up, flying out of the family nest, and finding friends was a normal part of late teenage years. What's new on top of that is more people are trying to do it again in their 20s after higher education, and again after settling down to have kids, and ...

The good news is that we have the social technology of ... affordable safe high density cities, with parks and high-rises (plus the obligatory blackjack and hookers too!) ... where people can be next to their new and old friends at the same time ... oh my!

> Europe clings to the hope that the rules-based international order that—at this point—everyone is abandoning, can be resuscitated through hopes and prayers. It can’t.

FWIW this perspective is currently known pejoratively, as "liberalism". As in "conservatives and liberals", not as in "liberty" or "liberal world order" - political labels are weird. Examples of this kind of party are the SPD (Germany), Labour (New Zealand) and the Democrats (USA).

Currently, left wing people are trying to make a big deal out of how liberals are (a) not actually left wing, but centrist at best, (b) generally incompetent (which is still preferable to the alternative most people have, mind you) and (c) enable fascism to take over, by attempting to follow the rules all the time, without updating the rules when fascists learn how to exploit them. (Hitler was given power according to the normal process, even though it should have already been obvious to everyone involved that it was a bad idea, because the most important thing is to follow the process, no matter where it leads)
I think his comparison to previous machine-assistance is misleading. In previous cases, the use of machines was never creative, whereas now AI has the ability to suggest creative lines.

In the short-term, this sounds exciting. But I also think it reduces the beauty of math because it is mechanizing it into a production line for truth, and reduces the emphasis on the human experience in the search for truth.

The same thing has happened in chess, with more people advocating for Fischer random because of the boring aspect of preparing openings with a computer, and studying games with a computer. Of course, the computer didn't initiate the process of in-depth opening preparation but it launched it to the next level. The point is that mechanization is boring except for pure utility.

My point is that math as a thing of beauty is becoming mechanized and it will lead to the same level of apathy in math amongst the potentially interested. Of course, now it's exciting because it's still the wild west and there are things to figure out, but what of the future?

Using advanced AI in math is a mistake in my opinion. The search for truth as a human endeavor is inspiring. The production of truth in an industrialized fashion is boring.
The beef is that many of us have enough grime on our hands. Many of us at the absolute elite frontier of this technology find its application in both technical reality and fundraising fantasy to be beneath any possible ideal.

Show HN: Folio.fm – Turn any address into your own DEX front end
Hey, this little app is basically linktree meets crypto, turn any address into a DEX frontend, add your links & customize it with skins (images / yt / tiktok), earn 1% referral fee when users buy off your frontend.

some technical details:

- this uses Uniswap and Raydium SDKs to slice the extra fees without having to a smart contract wrapper onchain.

- it was so much easier to work with EVM compared to solana because of solana account structure but we got it done.

- Youtube and Tiktok embeds are used as a backdrop which is great because i don't wanna deal with hosting video.

- there is no claims or anything like that, the referral fee is sent in the same TX.

- you can also buyAll which will 1 click ape in for an entire folio.

- The goal was to build something the blend a bit of the meme culture that enables users to show a bit of personality with existing tools.

Lemme know what you think.

P.S. it's on ProductHunt front page right now too would love an upvote if you like it.

This is less of a streaming subscription issue as much as a Netflix issue. Netflix doesn't have to use the metric of "time spent on platform". Their goal seems to want to be the everything-streaming-app and are willing to produce mountains of swill to get there.

For example with their TV-style content, Netflix starting churning out tons of cheaply produced baking and cooking competition shows during the pandemic -- probably due to the popularity of "The Great British Bake-off". Whatever they were going for, they didn't capture the magic of it, nor did their cooking competition shows capture the magic of "Iron Chef" despite the blatant struggle to do so.

Compare this to HBO. HBO has been subscription far before streaming was a thing and they have an excellent track record of regularly producing quality series with a subscription model.

In HBO's TV era post-2000, you have The Wire, Sopranos, Entourage, Boardwalk Empire, among many others. As things moved to streaming (2012-), there's Game of Thrones, Succession, Barry, Chernobyl, Last of Us, Veep, etc. It seems, on average, every year there's a new must-watch series that ranks well with both critics and viewers.

While there's skepticism about HBO maintaining it's legacy after the Discovery-Warner merger, Apple TV seems to be filling HBO's shoes.

Perhaps Netflix ought to consider cutting back the number of series it's churning out.
This is amazing. I’d feel safer flying in this than the original.

I think that the blocking of the deal by competition authorities shows the potential benefits of the deal (for Nvidia) in having control of Arm, in addition to making Arm-based SoCs, were real.

Also, Rene Haas (ex Nvidia) became CEO of Arm after the deal fell through. Simon Segars was CEO when the deal was announced.
Also worth considering that social phenomena is hard to measure.

Russia's paranoia of NATO was largely because they were being surrounded by military bases and missiles placed overtly within ranges that would greatly increase the chances/effect of a preemptive strike. Of course we kept expanding because each time Russia claimed something was a redline, they did nothing. Until they did. Though Ukraine is also particularly sensitive for them both from a cultural perspective and a strategic one.

Bringing them into NATO was something that they saw as comparable to how the US might see if China or Russia formed a military alliance with Mexico, set up military bases there, and let alone then inevitably deploying nuclear weapons there. Suddenly the rhetoric about countries being free to pick their own alliances would end up as yet another mockery of the "rules based order."*

So the solution was simple - don't bring Ukraine into NATO. Hundreds of thousands more Ukrainians would be alive, EU economies would be far stronger, and Russia might even be cooled back into its early trajectories. At one point in time, Putin was even enquiring about Russia joining NATO! This isn't an enemy that we need to have, but we need to be willing to engage in mutual compromise instead of trying to operate as a global hegemon.
actually in that case its more the other way around. its easier to drive with a profile that is not connected, you only loose the app functions like heating and knowing how much you still can drive and other things that are not 100% needed.
with a not connected profile the car starts and you dont need to press an additional button to access your media stuff. so far only vw does that in the german market. everbody else uses agb's/eulas and stuff to tell you about the connection.
vw is just bad when it comes to software.
